Leveling
A post-GCSE academic course in England and Wales offered at most Secondary School Sixth Forms, some FE Colleges and all
Sixth Form Colleges.Generally, the requirement to study at
A-Level depends on the school. The most common requirement is five
GCSE's at grade C-A*, sometimes including both English and Maths, but some Sixth Forms/Colleges will let you
resit them if you didn't manage to get at least a C in them.
Sixth Form's that are part of prestigious private schools or grammar schools generally require more/better grades, such as B's in Maths and English, two A's, and a string of
B's and C's.The A in A-Level stands for 'Advanced'-Level, and so it should. A-Levels are not neccessarily confusing or hard, but they are a LOT more work than GCSE's, and in a shorter space of time. The first half of the A-Level is the Advanced Subsidery or AS-Level, the second year is Advanced 2 or A2-Level, you complete both to get the full A-Levels.The most common amount of A-Levels taken per person is either three (for the average students) or four (for smart students). However, some people actually pic even more, or less.The average time spent doing A-Levels is two years, but some people end up doing three years for various reasons, such as failing a year, wanting to do extra AS's, or wanting to change subjects.Generally after A-Levels, people go on to study at University or a skills/
trade school or college.

Verb or noun. A joke or comment not meant to be taken seriously, but presented in a serious manner.
Thought of as a "cool" thing to do on various websites; the level also functions as a
get out of jail free card when your comment is decisively shown to be silly or misinformed because you can claim you were "just levelling".
The term originates from the question of whether you take the comment seriously depending on the "level" you are thinking. In a game of poker, the levels of thinking are:
level 0 = thinking about the cards you're holding
level 1 = thinking about the cards your opponent is holding
level 2 = thinking about what your opponent thinks you are holding
level 3 = thinking about what your opponent thinks you think he his holding
etc
Example:
Person 1 - Generic ridiculous stupid comment.
Person 2 - I really hope you are levelling here.
Person 1 -
No I'm serious.
Person 3 - Haha
you're stupid, you should have
left it as a level.

A fast spreading new definition of the word
leveled, meaning that a person got owned. People will often accompany the use of the word with a backwards
L shape of their hand signalling that a person got leveled. The character LevelMasterJ was the first recorded person known to use
the saying in such a way.
Example:
A man falls over in the street.
Person 1:''Man did you see that! That person just got
leveled!''
(Makes a
L shape with their hand
purposefully reversed to the opposite direction for the meaning leveled in order to not be confused with loser.)

The
A-levels (Advanced Level Examinations) is a series of exams that one will take at the age of 18.
Numerous students choose to take this exam after sitting for the O-levels (Ordinary Level Examinations), which tends to make others wonder why one would want to experience this suffering yet again at an advanced level.
Prior to the
A-Levels, one will spend two years preparing for the examinations at a
Junior College. During this period of time,
the student will go through lectures, tutorials and various phases of regret.
It is commonplace for many students to believe that taking the A-levels was the biggest mistake of their life, in which they are correct.
